    Hi!
    I was searching around the internet and couldn’t find any answers on what’s the difference between restringing a Celtic/folk/pedal harp vs the Paraguay harp.
    So I thought about asking this forum
    If you own a Paraguay harp, if you’d like, would you let me know how replacing the strings work?

    Thank you so much!

    Not real clear on the question specifically but maybe this will help:

    Some (maybe most) do not have access holes in the back so you must thread the strings from the front (the long end will be accessible from the base). Tie the knot in the usual way.

    Most also use guitar machines instead of pegs; just tune it up as you would a guitar.

    You will of course have to have the correct string sizes (and excess lengths if threading from the front).
